Importance of quality web hosting for SEO
The company that you use to host your websites can significantly affect your site in terms of search engine optimization. How so? Well one of the most obvious is that when you host with a low-quality web host that overloads their servers, when the search engine bots make their way to your site, there is a high probability that it will experience slow connection speeds, or not even be able to access the site at all. When the search engine bots cannot access a page within a certain amount of time, they’ll move on to the next link, or worse yet, the next website.
Other factors that can come into play when you’re trying to optimize your site for the search engines are the IP numbers and Class C subnets associated with your hosting. By spreading out your websites over various IPs and Class C subnets, you’ll be able to effectively create your own network of sites that you can use to link to eachother, without the search bots detecting them as being on the same hosting account and devalueing them.
So instead of lumping all your sites on one server, with one host, spread them out. But before you go out and host with just anyone, do your research. Ask other webmasters about their experiences and recommendations, and check out web hosting reviews. Getting a good host is of the utmost importance, and can significantly impact your placement in search engines.
